7. Social Media
a) Shariff solution
We use Shariff buttons from social networks Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Xing on our website. The buttons are simple HTML links. The procedure we use is within the framework of the Shariff solution. With the Shariff solution a script retrieves the number of times, e.g., the share button on a page has been clicked on: for this the script contacts the social network via the programming interfaces and retrieves the numbers. None of your personal data are transmitted in the process. Rather than your IP address, only our server address is transmitted to Facebook, Google and Twitter. You only become directly connected to Facebook, Google or Twitter if you perform an action. Before that the social networks cannot collect any data about you. If you do not click on a link to share content, you remain invisible to the networks. If you click on a link, the obligation to provide information about data collection and processing no longer rests with us, but rather with the operator of the social network.
b) YouTube Videos
Our website contains links to videos from YouTube (Google Ireland Limited based in Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Irland). If you visit a website on our website that contains such a video, a direct connection is established between your browser and the YouTube server after you have activated the video.
YouTube receives the information that you have visited our website with your IP address. If you click on the link to the video, your IP address will be forwarded to YouTube. We would like to point out that, as the provider of our website, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or of its use by YouTube. For more information, please see YouTube's privacy policy (https://www.youtube.com/)
